Kurjey Lhakhang (Kur=body; jey=print)

This lhakhang is named after the body print of Guru Rinpoche which is preserved in a cave in the oldest of the three lhakhangs complex.

1)  Guru Lhakhang is the oldest built in 1652  by Mingyur Tenpa.  In       the cave is the body print.

2)   Sampa Lhakhang built in 1900 by the first king of Bhutan, Ugyen Wangchuck.

3)   The third lhakhang was built by Queen mother Ashi Kesang Wangchuck in 1984 together with 108 chortens to enclose the complex.

Kurjey Lhakhang

We would like to walk up the hill near the  entrance to see the Kurjey Drupchhu (Kurjey spring) where monks wash their socks?
